In the movie “Lucy” I noticed a lot of points that are covered in the book. The way I will analyze this movie is by Character. I will go through the four main characters and tell the type of situation they are in. Then I will go through and tell what type of characters they are as classified by the book. Then i will go through and show how some large events classify them as what they are.
First, I will go through the characters-
-I believe Scarlett is involved in a crisis (mostly) not of her own making. (ch 8) She had a boyfriend that she wasn't completely sure what he did, but then she ended up being dragged into his ordeal. The ordeal ended up her having a bag of drugs placed inside her that accessed all of her brain power eventually. The drug made her deal with the causes in the icarus Myth (ch 9). She had to deal with a drug that made her access her full brain. But the addition to her brain was as deadly as the disease. She ended up almost dissolving after not having enough of the substance.

The Professor begins on a quest. He is on a quest to find out what would happen if we accessed our full brain capacity. He says he has been researching this topic for years, and after a speech, lucy contacts him. She lets him know she is on a drug that accesses her full part of the brain. This is interesting because instead of an sober adult (professor) helping the young, they are both helping each other. So it is like two youth people helping each other instead of a one way deal. Professor has to deal with many types of conflict in one human being. Lucy takes medication and is controlling nature, so it is like Man Vs. Nature, But he also is dealing with her as a person, so it was man vs man as well.
...
Pierre, A member of the police force, plays a role that is very prominent in many literature works. He possesses a lot of christ attributes, if not Christ, then they are biblical. He ends up believing in all that Lucy has to say and quickly starts sacrificing himself for her. He Eventually gets wounded, but continues trying to fight and do the right thing for Lucy. He is also in the company of thieves. He deals with the drug cartel one on one. Pierre is also of a different race, but he still ends up helping Lucy. His actions seem very similar to a christ archetype described in chapter 12. Pierre also deals with the sexual vampirism. While he is defending Lucy, she somehow makes all the enemies freeze and levitate. Then she kisses Pierre. This makes him attracted to help her. She does this so he will have more of an urge to follow her and help her (Ch 3).
